Ladies have you ever been eating and suddenly you find that you are choking on your food and sometime it takes a while to go down ? I I have been going through this lately and I hate it. I have never had this happen pre menopause and it is scary at times. Sometimes I am asked to go out to eat and I make up some excuse to avoid the embarrassment of having to clear my throat in public. I also feel like going into panic but calm myself down knowing that it would make things much worse. Hoping that you all are doing well. God bless

    i have been experiencing this for a few months now. I'm 50 and perimenopausal. Sometimes it happens just swallowing and i think drinking more water helps but im not very good at it.

    yes, I experience this daily now! I even felt like I was struggling to swallow pulp in orange juice, like it was getting stuck.
